Thanks, Rob Is the clock bouncing between two hour times while the minute stays more or less correct? If so, then Gentoo is probably setting the hardware clock to UTC (universal time, or Greenwich Mean Time) when it shuts down, and Windoze is expecting local time on bootup... They may be messing with each other?? Check /etc/rc.conf and see if clock says "UTC" or "local". If it says UTC, than that is the problem (as Windows doesn't support having a different OS clock than bios clock). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Then I'm stuck. Just two things to add: 1) In this case, adding the user to wheel has no effect. This is just how Gentoo people have configured _PAM_ for su (/etc/pam.d/su). 2) I strace'd su on my machine, and I didn't see it trying to open /etc/suauth (which is absent, anyway) at all. However, this may be different when su is compiled w/o PAM support, I don't know. Bye...

[gentoo-user] USB Keyboard
Hello, I’m new to the Linux world and have chosen Gentoo as my weapon of choice. After compiling my kernel, and rebooting into my new Gentoo system, the keyboard seized to function. I have compiled the USB Human Interface option into the kernel … the keyboard functioned perfectly when I booted with the Universal CD. Obviously I’m missing something … any help will be appreciated. Then just on a general note … I earn my living as a MS windows developer and must say that Gentoo/Linux have rekindled my interest, I feel like a kid again … cant wait to get back home in the evening and crank up my computer and play around. Linux is alive; I really hope that I will be able to make a living out of OpenSource in the not too distant future … Thanks, Hendré.

In the kernel config you need CONFIG_USB_KBD=y or CONFIG_USB_KBD=m and if compliled as a module it will appear as this file: /lib/modules/$KV/kernel/drivers/usb/input/usbkbd.ko If that module exists you can make it autoload like this: echo usbkbd >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 Zac Yahoo!

Re: [gentoo-user] Applying other patches.
Hallo, I recently passed to udev, so now I cannot use my Raid.
Gentoo si installed in /dev/hda
The Raid is a striping raid composed of /dev/sda /dev/sdb and consists
of 4 partitions. I created it installing windows (work reason).
The SATA controller is a Silicon 3512.
Before, with devfs, I used dmraid to create
dev/mapper/sil{1,2,3,4} and mounted direclty using this
devices. I had to remove dmraid eBuild from /usr/local/portage (or
something like that) because it blocked the "emerge -uD world", and the
devices now are disappeared (i.e. using dmraid the devices are not

The "normal" way to make (software) RAID devices is to use mkraid or
mdadm.

No idea, but strange things happen in Portage's sandbox.
(By the way, ">&/dev/null" is a pasto? Here it is "&>".)
But have you tried updating the kernel? See the thread on "random
emerge failures". Yours aren't random, but worth trying an update.
And if that doesn't help, how about using a default profile?

Maybe. Have you looked at /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh?
Because here the chown is on line 1880. Portage 2.0.51.19.
Perhaps try reemerging portage?

Raidtools is depreciated in favour of mdadm, so id recommend you use
mdadm. I use it for software RAID5 and its been working fine for over a

I would create an overlay directory and copy to ebuilds there, that way
you can version bump your overlay as the main portage tree gets updated.
Of course, if your manually applied patches may be of use to others then
you should probably file bugs at bugs.gentoo.org. Remember that patches
that may not be desired by everyone should utilise a local USE flag to

There are instructions that will flip the AMD64 back and forth between 32/64 bit modes. You can't push anything except a 64bit value onto the stack while in 64bit mode and in 32bit mode you can push 8/16/32 bit values and various other similar issues. Now the OS can set up for 32bit mode prior to executing a program but as you and many others have pointed out in this list the real problem is that portage does not yet keep (and distinguish between) copies of both 32 & 64 bit libraries in the same tree. That is why OpenOffice.Org, Flash, etc. are precompiled and linked binaries and they still run with a 64 bit kernel. I got an AMD64 because I wanted to explore these issues. If they scare off the original poster then he should at least compare a regular Athalon to a Pentium and then go with whatever 32bit version he decides.

I was under the impression that the iso filesystem is read only. Of course, you could mount the iso on a loop and create a new iso from those files.

What may be the easiest thing to do is look at man 5 dhcpd.conf. You can have dhcpd assign each computer the same IP address everytime, based on its IP address.

Don't bother with the ATI drivers until you have a working xorg.conf file. In the kernel select the DRI. Generally, Xorg will config it self to 800x600 with no xorg.conf file using some best guesses. Key thing to know is your monitor specifications - horizontial and vertical frequency limits. Second key thing to know is what /dev/ device you want to use for your mouse.

[gentoo-user] how to activate the network
Hi, all It’s my first time to setup a gentoo system on my pc. I use “genkernel all” to build the kernel, but failed to bring up the eth0 device when rebooting. Despite I ran “modprobe e100”, the “ifconfig eth0 “ reports no such device found. Then what should I do to setup my eth0 device? BTW, following is the output of “dmesg|grep e100”: Intel® PRO/100 Network Driver 3.3.6-k2-NAPI Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Intel corporation Thank you.

I am a newbie, and so simply generate the kernel with the command "genkernel all" without any modification of the .config file.

the source tarball is kept in /usr/portage/distfiles (in its tarred release format). You can study the "raw" (as in unpatched ) source there by untarring the source tarball. as others have said, if you want to study the source with whatever patches the ebuild has applied, use "FEATURES=keepwork" On Fri, 2005-05-20 at 17:38 -0700, cfk wrote: > Pardon the slightly naive question. > > I would like to study the c and cpp source on the packages I am emerging.

Finally I installed gentoo on my laptop IBM ThinkPad X240, which has not internal CD-ROM drive and has external FD drive (not usb one). I used 2 floppy distros hal91 and toms. Why I used 2 distros: 1) hal91 supports bzunzip2 for bunzipping stage and portage files 2) hal91 supports '-p' option which I used for 'tar -xvpf stage3...' 3) toms distro used for creating ext3 fs for root by 'mke2fs -j'. Though hal91 also has mke2fs command '-j' option didn't work for me. 4) at /dev/hda1 I had win98 partition, so I put there stage3, portage and distiles of gentoo 2005.0 5) after chroot I couldn't use env-update. I could use this command after 'source /etc/profile' 6) the rest I followed as in installation hanbook. That's all.
